Landowners warned to remain vigilant despite drop in rural crime

The number of fly-tipping incidents in the East of England region has fallen, new Government figures have revealed.

Findings revealed by the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs - DEFRA - report a total of 75,664 fly-tipping incidents were recorded across the region in 2021/22. This is a drop from 79,726 in the previous year.

Despite the trend shown in the government statistics, a rural insurance specialist is calling on landowners to strengthen their efforts further to keep environmental criminals at bay in a bid to maintain the positive trend.
